javax.xml.bind.annotation
Annotation Type XmlTransient

Prevents the mapping of a JavaBean property/type to XML representation.

The @XmlTransient annotation is useful for resolving name
collisions between a JavaBean property name and a field name or
preventing the mapping of a field/property. A name collision can
occur when the decapitalized JavaBean property name and a field
name are the same. If the JavaBean property refers to the field,
then the name collision can be resolved by preventing the
mapping of either the field or the JavaBean property using the
@XmlTransient annotation.

When placed on a class, it indicates that the class shouldn't be mapped
to XML by itself. Properties on such class will be mapped to XML along
with its derived classes, as if the class is inlined.

Usage

The @XmlTransient annotation can be used with the following
program elements:

a JavaBean property

field

class

@XmlTransientis mutually exclusive with all other
JAXB defined annotations.

See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for
additional common information.

field name
